Biography

It is year 2003 when the drummer and the guitarist Juhani and Ari started to create some doomish songs in their dark catacombic music cave. The merciless wind rapes the trees in the midwinter night of Tampere and one by one long epic songs are seeing the torch light.
2004 Mika joins the group and the lower tones are filled.
During 2004-2005 few demos are made that includes some songs involved to the fore coming Nosdrama album.
Janne the synth player is called to play and in 2006 the first long play record “Cold trails, long roots” is reveiled.
The album got very good reviews in the music magazines but the record deal is still not yet reality.
The band plays few gigs and starts to create another album. Two tracks “Waves of insanity” and “Siberia” are recorded at the 2007 and are published as a web single.
At the year 2007 Nosdrama plays only one gig. Nokia summer party has over 3000 heads at the audience.
At the summer of 2007 the city of Tampere evicted the band with tens of other fate mates from their training room when the bus station building went under the hammer. The same kind of youth culture destruction still continues in the city. A rehearsal rooms one by one seem to be shut down without replacement.
Despite of problems brought by lack of playing place, the second album “Burning black” is published at 13.3.2008.
. During the “Burning black”-era, the album got good reviews around the world. The band attend to some band competitions and makes international distribution deal with Musea.
